' amusing ,and attractive to the trade and which embodies a card having a'nunde veloped picture on one side thereofand a blank sensitized emulsion on the other sides thereof for permitting a picture to be taken thereon, both sides of the card being developed at the same time after the picture is taken, whereby whenthe person having his or her picture taken receives the card, there will be a picture alongside of his or her photograph of another person, which person can be called his or her' future wife or husband.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and formation of parts, as will be hereinafter more specifically described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which drawings,

Figure 1 is an elevation of the novel post card film, showing the same ready for-use. Figure 2 is a longitudinal section through the same, and

Figure 3 is an elevation of the card after the pictures have been developed.

Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the letter A generally indicates the improved post card films, which comprises a cardboard backing or sheet 5. This sheet 5 has one face thereof divided by a central transverse line 6 which divides the card into two side porti0ns. The-entire face of the card which is divided by the transverse line 6, is provided with a suitable coating of a sensitized emulsion 7 for permitting pictures to be taken on each side of the said line 6. One portion of the card, say the portion 8 is adapted to have a picture taken Application filed February-20,1924. Serial No. 694,131,,

thereon before the card is released tothe trade, but this picture is left. in its undeveloped state. The picture taken is covered by a suitable sheet of black paper 10'01;

After the picture has been taken on the portion f the card andv soluble black paint.

sheet 10 has been placed thereon, thiscard is ready to be released to the trade and isof course packed so as to prevent light from striking the sensitized surface of the portion 7 of the card. r

It is to be .understoodi'ithat "the-'fpicturef taken on the section'fS of'the card iseither of a manor woman'and when thec'ard'is used by the street-photographer, he selects I a card in which the sex ofthe picture is opposite to the sex of the customer who is having his or her picture taken.

. In use of the improved card, the same is placedtin the camera in the usual way and the customers picture is taken, after which the black protecting'sheet 10 is removed and at the same time. Thus when the card is given to the customer, there will be a picture 11 alongside of his or her picture 12.

' both sides 7 and 8 of the card developed This forms an attractive and amusing film for the trade. and will act as an incentive for people to have their pictures taken by street photographers.

Changes in details may be made without departing from the spirit or the scope of this invention.

hat I claim as new is:

I. A post card film combining a backing provided with a central transverse line forming inde endent sections, one face of both of said sections being covered with a sensitized emulsion, an undeveloped picture on one of the sections and a non-actinic protective covering secured to the undeveloped picture.

2. A method for producing a post-card film, consisting of providing a backing divided into two sections, covering one side of both sections with a sensitized emulsion, taking an exposure on one of said sections, and subsequently securing to the exposed section a non-actinic protective coating.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

CORBET COOPER.
